CLASSIC GOLDEN AGE MYSTERY PERFECT FOR FANS OF AGATHA CHRISTIE The
first wife died suddenly. Without Miss Silver's help, the new bride
may be about to meet a similar fate 'Ranks with the best of the
golden-age detectives' Daily Mail Maud Silver, demure private eye,
is on a train to London when a young woman in a state of shock
bursts into her compartment. She is Lisle Jerningham, a newlywed
with a fortune - which may be about to get her killed. Lisle
explains that she fled her home in a hurry after overhearing a
sinister conversation. Her new husband's first wife died in an
apparent accident, and the resultant infusion of cash saved his
family home. Now, he's broke again - and she fears he is attempting
to engineer a second convenient mishap. Whether the widower is bent
on a second murder or his young wife is being paranoid, no one is
clear. But if Lisle is in danger, it is up to Miss Silver to find
out. 'A first-rate storyteller' Daily Telegraph 'You can't go wrong
with Miss Maud Silver' Observer 'Miss Silver is marvellous' Daily
Mail 'Better than Miss Marple' Mary Stewart 'A particular
favourite' Andrew Taylor 'Miss Wentworth's plot is ingenious, her
characterization acute, her solution satisfying' Scotsman 'Miss
Silver has her place in detective fiction as surely as Lord Peter
Wimsey or Hercule Poirot' Manchester Evening News
